Your Assignment May Change, But Your Purpose Never Will
I thought I had my life all figured out. Since I was twelve years old, all I ever wanted to do was be an attorney — and my dream came true. But after years of hard work as a trial attorney (and later as a judge), I was able to take early retirement at fifty […]
